2026 Camp Cards Fundraiser

Camp Cards will be available for checkout at this Monday’s Troop meeting.

Each Scout may initially check out 20 cards. Once those are sold and funds are turned in, Scouts may check out an additional 20 cards. If you would like your Scout to receive more than 20 cards initially, please plan to attend the meeting to sign them out or email Kristen Bay in advance with the total number of cards requested. See the Camp Card Flier for additional information.

Camp Card Overview:

  • Each card sells for $10
  • $5 (50%) from each sale goes directly into your Scout’s individual Scout Account
  • This is a no-risk fundraiser—unsold cards may be returned if they are intact and in good condition
  • Please treat cards like cash; either funds or unused cards must be returned by the deadline

Sales Period: Now through April 20, 2026
Deadline to turn in funds or return unsold cards: Monday, April 20, 2026

Funds and unused cards may be turned in at any time during the sales period.

Troop 465 History Committee

 

The purpose of the Boy Scouts of America, incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916, is to:

Provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character.

Train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship.

Develop personal fitness.

How you can get involved:

JOIN as a youth member with Troop 465.

VOLUNTEER as a Troop Committee member or Assistant Scoutmaster

GIVE to 465 Alumni Inc. to support Troop 465's sponsor.

  Serving youth for over 50 years, Troop 465 has had a proud heritage of molding boys into men according to the criteria listed above. Our Scoutmaster Emeritus, George Lingefelt, say's "If you want boys to become leaders, you have to train them and then let them lead", and thus began our "boy-lead troop" mind set. Jason Norred is our current Scoutmaster and passes these skills on. In fact, Scoutmaster Norred is only our 8th Scoutmaster since 1963.

Since 1996, the Troop Sponsor has been 465 Alumni, Inc., dba Friends of Troop 465, a non-profit organization specifically enacted to support Troop 465 both financially and philosophically. Troop 465 has a permanent Scout Hut, on over 3 acres, thanks to the generosity and foresight of 465 Alumni, Inc.

Troop 465 is unique because of the tremendous support from our members and their families. If you would like more information about joining troop 465, please click here.
